A grey, dreary goals ramble
Bleah. I was sick yesterday, and still sorta am today. And it's a grey, rainy day out, and I'm just feeling bleah.
However, the good news is that I'll soon be better, and I can get back to working on my goals. Lately, I've found that I've been uninspired. I think this is because I'm so very close to achieving my PhD goal. I've read that it's often very hard to complete a task 100%, and people usually stop at 90% or 95% done. I think that's what I'm feeling. My thesis will take another month (or more) to write, and I'm not really super-stoked about that. So what I plan to do, today, is what I've been threatening to do for awhile now, and that's write out my goals, complete with mini-goals along the way. Of course, I will do this off-site – and you'll probably hear about it tomorrow. But for now, totally bleah.
I think I probably just need one more good sleep to get back to normal. I don't feel nauseated or have a sore throat, just no energy, and my muscles are weirdly sore. I 'unno. Maybe get to bed early tonight and see how that works for me.
But in the meantime we've got to get this blog post written.
I 'unno what to write about. Not much going on. I was sick all yesterday – didn't do anything on Saturday aside from play Factorio. (Aside: Oh man, Factorio is soooo addictive. It's all about creating supply chains to automate stuff – sounds dull, and probably would be were I a normal person. But I'm a mathematician, so my weirdness quotient is allowed to be super high.) Anyhoo, once I create goals for myself, taking a day off seems like such a waste. It's hard to enjoy the things I once did, mostly 'cause I feel guilty for not working on my goals. I think setting up monthly mini-goals will help – for if I achieve all my daily goals, then I don't need to feel guilty about enjoying my time off.
The ideal day, according to (I think) Ben Franklin, is 8 hours of work, 8 hours of play and 8 hours of sleep. What I think I'll go back to is getting all my goals accomplished first thing – and then once all the items on my "ToDo" list are checked off, I'll begin the serious task of playing video games, etc… I very much enjoy the idea of a rigid, daily schedule. That's why I think I'd do so well in the army – they tell you exactly what you have to do, you just have to show up.
Meh – it's no fun being sick – or without energy. I haven't worked out since Wednesday. I took Thursday off because I was tired from waking up in the morning – and then I went out at night with J3, and that followed through to Friday, but then I went out Friday with collegues and so that carried through to Saturday, and then yesterday I was sick. It's funny how skipping one workout can lead to terrible results. I'm looking forward to feeling better and getting back at it.
Oh well – one of the things I definitely need to work on is patience towards my goals. I want to be in peak physical condition TODAY! I want a deep emotional connection with someone, TONIGHT!! I want to have my PHD, TOMORROW!! I will gradually learn the lesson of patience. One thing I will start trying is 15 minutes of meditation in the mornings. Currently, I do 15 minutes of visualization with respect to my goals. I think I will add 15 minutes of meditation afterwards. I keep reading about the benefits of meditation – including a sense of well being, a sense of calm and acceptance. I think I need that in my life. With my artificial anxiety, I can use all the help I can get in establishing a sense of calm.
I would also like to establish a better sense of purpose. I keep wasting time surfing the net and/or playing with my phone when I should be working. I need to get better at head-down math and keeping my mind focused on work. I think meditation can probably help with this as well.
Anyhoo – that's a cool 15. No dates lined up for this week – but it's Easter weekend, so that might be tough to do. I'm seeing J3 next week, so that's cool. She's fun to be around, pretty and a great kisser. So there'll certainly be a report about that in the coming future.

Other talks from Taraloka
There is no transcript for this talk. Help us make one!
Spiritual Death is about death of our fixed, bounded self, the self that is made up of bundled habits and preferences and views - especially views about existence and non-existence. So don't be surprised if, when contemplating the impermanence and unreliability of that small self, you taste fear. It's natural enough in the circumstances. After all, fine to talk loftily about 'dying to one's ego', but who will be left after that's done? Where will 'I' be? Kulaprabha explores this with reference to two Pali Canon suttas. You'll also hear about the eldrich sound of barn owls at night!
This talk was given on retreat and is part of the series on the system of meditation of the Western Buddhist Order.
Talk given at Taraloka, May 2008.

Linen Denim Shirt Ladies
Details:Looks like jeans and is just as sturdy, but due to the special mix of materials, our bleed linen ladies denim shirt has so much more to offer. Thanks to the combination of organic cotton and linen this one is not only convincing by the water-saving production, it also has a slightly cooling effect, is moisture-balancing, and also dirt and bacteria repellent by nature. This makes it just perfect for sensitive skin. And last but not least, thanks to the stand-up collar, as well as the small wooden buttons, it just looks damn good.

With youth unemployment running at just under one million, and 1,500 Islington residents aged 18-24 on job seekers' allowance, Islington's Labour council are taking action on jobs and apprenticeships. In Caledonian ward, in particular, there is: the King's Cross Construction Centre to support local young people into apprenticeships in construction on the King's Cross Central site; a pre-apprenticeship scheme running to help young people into jobs in painting and decorating; and an apprenticeship programme in bicycle maintenance providing employment and training for young people.
The council's youth employment strategy, passed by Council in February 2012, set out that by 2015 all young people aged 16 to 18 in Islington would be in education, employment or training, and we would seek to reduce youth unemployment to below 1000 for those aged 19-24. In Caledonian, we've taken a big step towards that, with support from the Council, as well as a range of charitable, business and public sector partners.
During National Apprenticeship Week (11th-15th March), we will officially launch K&M McLoughlin's painting and decorating academy on Brewery Road in Caledonian. This five week voluntary programme sees young people aged 16-24 learn the basics of painting and decorating in work conditions. The programme is a partnership of K&M McLoughlin Ltd, Islington Council and City and Islington College, and has so far supported over twenty young people into employment or apprenticeships. The partnership of an employer, the local college and the council, mean young people can be effectively supported into the programme, receive excellent training, and be ready for a work or an apprenticeship when the programme is finished.
On the Bemerton estate in Caledonian, Get More Bikes will this week open their bicycle maintenance workshop -; a social enterprise delivering bicycle maintenance and cycle safety training, delivered by apprentices supported by experienced staff. This programme aims to employ young people from across Islington, but particularly those living on the Bemerton, as apprentices in bicycle maintenance, while serving the public and cyclists travelling across London. This will all happen from what used to be empty garages on the Bemerton, and is supported by the Council and the Bemerton Villages Management Organisation (BVMO), and run by the social enterprise Get More.
In Caledonian, we also have the King's Cross Construction Skills Centre on York Way, which is run through a partnership of Camden and Islington Councils and Carillion. So far, seventy Islington residents have benefited from the training programme, which includes apprenticeships and more specialist training. The Team Cally ward partnership also manages a job brokerage scheme, the BIG Alliance, supported by Islington Giving, Macquarie and Argent, and run by the East London Business Alliance (ELBA). This programme supports Islington residents into employment by working in partnership with large firms to develop training and work placements which lead directly to jobs. The programme runs for two years, and already has some notable successes with large employers in the City of London and on the King's Cross Central site.
For National Apprenticeship Week and beyond, in Islington, and particularly Caledonian, we are making sure that youth unemployment is tackled, jobs and training sought, so that each Islington young person can find the education, training or employment that suits them.

The Categorical Training Track is the traditional track at UVA and emphasizes training in general internal medicine with a focus on subspecialty and hospital-based practice. Numerous outpatient opportunities in internal medicine are included in this track.
In addition to providing a core base of rotations on general internal medicine clinics and wards, the program provides numerous consultative specialty rotations which expose the resident to both inpatient and outpatient problems for which referral is needed.
Distinctive Features
- Rotations through an inpatient Hematology-Oncology Service, Digestive Health Service, and Acute Cardiology Service in addition to the General Medicine Services. This allows for inpatient exposure to both general internal medicine and the major subspecialties taught by subspecialists.
- Rotations through the Medical Intensive Care Unit and Coronary Care Unit with curriculum stressing the fundamentals of hemodynamics, mechanical ventilation and ample opportunity for bedside procedures. During their time in the MICU, residents will be leaders of the code team for the entire hospital.
- Many opportunities for the intern and resident to perform procedures including central venous lines, arterial lines, thoracentesis, paracentesis, lumbar puncture, arthrocentesis, as well as ventilator management.
- The ability to tailor elective time to maximize exposure to a wide range of internationally recognized faculty in clinical and research venues.
- An intensive course in clinical investigation during the spring of the first year of residency. This course teaches residents the essential skills needed for developing sound research proposals. (see Research Opportunities)
Graduates of the residency program consistently match at their top choices in fellowships at highly competitive programs throughout the country. This track prepares residents for a career in general internal medicine or for further subspecialty training, and is ideal preparation for a hospitalist career.

Cuphead is an upcoming indie video game developed by StudioMDHR. It combines the run and gun genre with mechanics from others, including action RPGs. The game has been under development since 2010 and garnered attention at this year's E3 thanks to its action-packed gameplay and unique visuals –which smack of 1930s cartoons.
Chad Moldenhauer, one of the two brothers behind StudioMDHR, agreed to answer a few questions about Cuphead. In the interview, he discusses how development of the title has progressed, what other games have had an influence during the creative process and why they decided to work on Cuphead in the first place. | Read more at PopGeeks.net

It's just 2 days shy of 10 years ago when I walked into my matchbox apartment above an engineering firm on a downtown street.
Looking back now, I would have questioned your sanity if you had tried to tell me that later in life I would end up married and living a quiet life in the country… (Or at least a semi-quiet life)
10 years later.
10 years is a long time.
That morning I turned on my TV in customary fashion to relax and unwind after pulling a midnight shift which ended at 8:00am.
It was typical for me to take a few hours to unwind after work, to "come down" as they say.
But then nothing was typical about that morning.
I was watching the Today Show with what I'm sure were millions of other Americans when the first news broke about a plane that had slammed into the World Trade Center in New York.
Then as I watched in horror, live on network television, the second plane came in…
I remember calling my supervisor, telling him that we were under attack, and feeling profoundly angry.
I wanted to do something…anything, but it was not to be.
So I tried to go to sleep.
2,977 people went to work that day and never got the chance to walk into their apartments again.
Never see their kids again.
Never kiss or hold their loved ones again.
Never feel the sun the rain or the wind…again.
I would be willing to venture that the average person doesn't wake up each morning only to consider their demise before the day's setting sun.
But then maybe that's exactly how we should live our lives.
10 years later.You see, I don't want to forget, and I will not reduce the events of that day to the simple description of being "American history".
I apologize, but "move on" and "get over" do not apply to this particular incident.
Have we become "numb" to the idea of it happening again?
It couldn't possibly happen again.
But then it couldn't possibly have happened the first time either…
In 2 days it will be September 11, 2011.
10 years after the fact of a day that I won't forget & will always remember.

Folks, the last six weeks have been a dry, hockey-less desert the likes of which we haven't seen in years. Flames fans have been reduced to watching such weird sports as baseball and golf instead of being able to turn on our televisions and view hockey games.
Super Series
No more. There are five chances for you to watch hockey featuring Flames prospects on your television without having to learn Russian or anything like that:
- Monday, November 5: Team QMJHL vs. Team Russia, Subway Super Series (Sportsnet; 5pm MT)
- Wednesday, November 7: Team QMJHL vs. Team Russia, Subway Super Series (Sportsnet; 5pm MT)
Start your week off with some hot-shot junior hockey. Quebec's up first in the Super Series, tangling with the hated Team Russia. Russia has Nail Yakupov, so Flames fans can get accustomed to booing him early. In addition, Calgary draft pick Ryan Culkin is patrolling the QMJHL blueline in both games. He'll be easily identifiable by the number 7 on his jersey, as well as the fact that he's one of the better offensive defenders in the Quebec league.
Kings and Giants
Wednesday, November 7: Edmonton Oil Kings vs. Kelowna Rockets (Shaw TV; 8:05pm MT)
The Flames have Edmonton's star goalie Laurent Brossoit in the fold. Sure, he hasn't put up stellar numbers so far this year, but he was the playoff MVP last year. In addition, use this game to scout defender Madison Bowey from Kelowna, who's expected to go quite high in this year's draft. Maybe not in the first round, but he's an offensive threat for the Rockets.
Friday, November 9: Vancouver Giants vs. Portland Winterhawks (Shaw TV; 8:30pm MT)
This will be fun, but in a morbid way. The Giants are a bad, bad team (with a 5-12-0 record right now). Calgary prospect Brett Kulak plays for the Giants and has been quite good this year (aside from his -5 rating). Portland, on the other hand, is a very good team (with a 12-3-1 record). They boast the likes of Flames pick Tyler Wotherspoon as well as hot-shot 2013 NHL Draft hopefuls Seth Jones, Oliver Bjorkstrand and Nic Petan. This one could get as out of hand as a Harlem Globetrotters game, but it will also show off how good Kulak is at holding a bad team together.
Battle of Alberta. Sorta.
Saturday, November 10: Abbotsford Heat vs. Oklahoma City Barons (Sportsnet; 8pm MT)
Finally, end your week of enjoying the sweet, sweet nectar of televised hockey with the AHL's version of the Battle of Alberta. Sven Baertschi, Roman Horak and the Heat take on Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and the Baby Greasers. Both of these clubs are loaded with talent, and fans will be able to see how much hate young Sven has in his heart for the Oilers this early into his pro career.

Clara "Lulu" Gamble of Kalamazoo has been involved in the Michigan Senior Olympics since 1990. She has participated in various events throughout the years including Pickleball, Badminton, Racquetball, Powerlifting, and Track & Field. Lulu has also attended several National Senior Games competitions and represented Michigan by bringing home multiple medals. She also holds several state records in javelin and shot put. "The most popular kid on the block had a bat and ball. I was not that kid. Few sporting activities were available in my youth especially if you were a "southern belle"." After my wage earning years I discovered the senior games and started to sample as many as available. What fun. Wonderful friends surfaced. Aided by some super pals, I have had many experiences on the state and national level. Winning a lot of medals impresses my family and friends. To me, they are reminders of good times and fun with a host of playmates.
Stan Koster, currently a resident of Zeeland, has always competed in athletics, including winning 12 varsity letters in three sports in the small rural high school in McBain. He continued competing in numerous track and field events at Calvin College where he was a record holder in pole vault and javelin. In 2000 he returned to competition by competing in the Senior Olympics, focusing on the javelin, all as part of rehab from a bout with cancer. Stan has competed in the MSO games 14 times, winning the gold every year except his first year. He holds the state record for age brackets (65,70,75,80). He has also competed in numerous National Senior Games, winning the gold medal 5 times (2001, 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2015) breaking the national record in Houston in 2011. He currently is listed in the top 10 national performances in three age categories (70,75, 80). And in 2005 Stan won the World Masters Games javelin competition in Edmonton, Canada. "MSO has been an important part of my life and I am most grateful for this. At a time when I needed to refocus Senior Olympics provided an opportunity. Along the way we have met some wonderful people who have enriched our lives in ways that likely would not have happened without these experiences."
Manny Hauer is a good example of why a healthy active lifestyle is something for which we should all strive, Manny is 106 years old. When asked for his advice for living a long life he always says walk daily, eat healthy foods, and limit red meat. He said that the MSO played a large roll in his ability to implement his philosophy. Manny Competed at 100 years old and the last time at 101 years old. He won a gold medal and set the record for 100+. The Olympic committee had to establish a new category of 100+ for Manny. He also holds the record for 95+ years old. The Michigan Senior Olympics gave Manny a focus for his life. As soon as he completed one race he began training for the next year's race. He was an inspiration not only to those who competed in the Olympics with him but too many people in the community who know him. His perseverance and resilience has been a wonderful example and inspiration to his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and other family and friends.
Frederick Winter from Holland, Michigan is a U.S Navy Veteran who served during World War II. He has participated in many different sports while competing with the Michigan Senior Olympics. He has held multiple National Records including Shot Put, Discus, Hammer throw, 50M run and 100M run. He made history while at the National Senior Olympics by being the first man over the age of 100 to complete the 100-meter run. He is also one of six individuals being featured in a Chicago museum exhibit focusing on centenarians from across the country. Frederick generously gives his medals away to those that are needy or deserving of them. He is a true testament to how far determination can take an individual.
Dorothy Comstock Ray was the type of individual that inspired everyone around her. After 33 years of teaching Dorothy retired and soon after was introduced to the love of walking. She started competing at the age of 70 with a quest for the Gold. At the age of 82 she had already earned over 100 medals and represented Michigan in five National Senior Games. She held the records in her age group for Shot Put, Javelin, Discus, 1500M Run, 800M Run 400M Run and 100M Run at the age of 85. Dorothy enjoyed participating in the Michigan Senior Olympics and was a fierce competitor.
Michael Fiorillo competed for the first time with The Michigan Senior Olympics in 1985. He only missed 3 years due to injury and earned over 100 medals while competing. He has competed in many different events including softball, volleyball, badminton, and track & field where he set the triple jump record in 2010 and he still continues to participate to this day. He spent many years traveling around to different competitions. He also spent much of his life starting programs for mentally and emotionally disturbed children in Michigan State Hospitals. Due to his instrumental work in starting the organization, MATEDC (Michigan Association of Teachers of Emotionally Disturbed Children) he was recognized with the "Outstanding to Service Youth Award". He has seven children and has been a member of Sigma Delta PSI, a National Honorary Athletic Fraternity, since 1953. Michael has changed the lives of many individuals, and continues to do so everyday.
Hilary Goerge, from Lansing, MI, resumed his post-collegiate throwing career in 1984 and has been participating in MSO events since he became eligible in 1998, missing only the 2009 & 2011 meets.

Problems in project accomplishment
Minor difficulties that appear during accomplishment of international project of this kind, in general, do not influence the results of the project, but may delay certain activities. A serious obstacle was the visa problem of Turkish listeners of the project. Despite the efforts of ANTÇEV and ROVC the listeners from Turkey were refused visas to Spain. Therefore instead of four Turkish listeners only one listener took part in the meeting.
After the first year of cooperation we are convinced that our Turkish partner ANTÇEV is a reliable institution. Certainly, the Turkish participants of partners' meetings are selected carefully and are not anonymous. We appeal for help or advice that could help in avoiding similar unpleasant situations in future.
The second problem worth mentioning is the fact that in Poland it is not possible to introduce project results directly in Employment Agencies. Employment Agencies are obliged to put holding courses out to tender. Therefore the accomplishment of the courses will be done with the help of own computers installed at village leaders of chosen places.

Project title: IT Education as an activating factor of adults from areas under danger of unemployment
General information about the project
The project concerns adults who are looking for a job because they are unemployed or would like to change their present occupation but due to various reasons, especially connected with their environment, face difficulties in finding a job. The project program is aimed at people living in various weakly urbanized environments: countryside and small towns. The accomplishment of the project is a multistep program. Based on statistical data, in the initial phase of a project, target regions were defined and essential contacts with local representatives were made. The courses to be accomplished in the first step of the project were determined and their programs prepared:

Skip Calendar
Two of the above courses have already been carried out in a traditional way by the institutions that prepared the programs. After translating into national languages of the project partners the courses will be carried out in all participating countries. The accomplishment of the project will be based on blended learning, i. e., will involve traditional and modern teaching methods connected with IT. Due to the peculiarity of the project the main stress will be put on distant learning. Therefore in the second stage of the project the courses will be implemented on the e-learning platform Moodle, adjusted to the requirements of the project. In the final stage of the project all courses will be available on the e-learning platform Moodle and can serve as a support to traditional courses offered e. g., by Employment Agencies or can be treated as fully independent courses. As a supplement to courses, guides to courses and leaflets will be prepared.
The project is supported by European Commission as part of the Socrates Grundtvig 2 program (LLP).

I am equipped with positivity, thinking having a baby is just easy as BDing on that important day. Well it's NOT on our first three months. It's more complex than I thought. There goes my sanity trying to figure "How come?", "Why not?", "What did we missed?" and all sorts of questions of disbelief. I think I have stressed myself out too much and was on on the verge of losing hope. I know I shouldn't whine about that, because there are couples who have been trying for years and still has full of hope. Silly me. Yes, I'm impatient. On our third month, I know it's going to be BFN, husband has been busy with his job. Now that he just been promoted as Manager. So took a break on the third, after all it'll be Thanksgiving in a few weeks.
So two weeks before Thanksgiving, husband and have gone busy with getting the house ready for Thanksgiving. His sister and family are coming over, as our yearly tradition. He's on the middle of finishing up the roof installation and I was in charge of cleaning the house. OCD like me, I always go overboard. I always want everything to be tidy-looking as possible. So I re-painted a couple of doors. Even planned on re-painting my kitchen cabinets and the guest room walls, but we were short on time. In the middle of all this, a week before our guests gets here, my AF is already 6 days late. Hmmm. But not very long, I got it, and after that I have been spotting ever since.
|2nd faint line -Wondfo brand
|the ultimate test- "Pregnant"
The next day, called my OB clinic and spoke to the nurse, who asked me to get it confirmed by blood test (beta) the same day. We were all anxious to find out. All my pregnancy test came positive, why wouldn't my blood test right? My spotting continues and it really concerns me. I read it could be just a normal spotting for early pregnancies. But I just had my period? or so I thought was. Ahh, it could be implantation bleeding. Another reason for spotting is the dreadful miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy is present. That couldn't be the reason for me, I get mild cramps but not the kind of cramps severe as pain that is associated with the two. Then what's going on with me? Amidst all these, our families were all excited, we have over-the-top happy grandparents and charged up future uncles and aunts. And soon-to-be daddy, who broke the news to his co-workers. Everyone's cheering, I am overwhelmed with support.
Result came in the next day, my beta was 11. The nurse requested for another blood test. She said with that beta count, it's too low to tell. So I head back to clinic and got my lab done. And what a pain to find out that we will get the result on Monday! Thanks to the Thanksgiving holidays and weekend, the clinic are close! I asked if there's anyway I could find out or someone to call. They said no, no one's here to take your call. Damn! that left us all hanging.
Come Thanksgiving....
Come weekend...
And Monday, Nov 29th. I can't wait I called them first thing in the morning. I left a message to my nurse. She called back after 2 hours. She said my beta didn't rise at all, and therefor it's a negative pregnancy. I was stunned. Speechless for a second, and out of the blue threw a bunch of questions like if there's something wrong with my ovaries or my reproductive system, when can I talk to my doctor? She said I could make an appointment. She can't give me any answers. WTH. I just hang up. I cried. I have a lot of questions in my head but of them matters now. What's the point of asking, it's negative anyway! It hurts like breaking up with a boyfriend but ten times worse. What hurts most is breaking the news to your husband, who has been more excited than me. It broke my heart.
I anxious to find out what happened with my pregnancy. But the soonest available appointment I got to see my OB doc is on January 4th!
There goes my story of BFP to BFN. Or maybe it's a chemical pregnancy or maybe just a BFN or a fluke all along? If so, why my HPTs show otherwise?
I still have my hopes up that one day on one of my cycles, we will get our prayers answered.

Wawona Meadow Loop Trail is a 3.6 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Mariposa, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Horses are also able to use this trail.
kid friendly
horseback riding
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
no dogs
If you are looking for an easy afternoon walk to explore Wawona consider the Wawona Meadow Loop. Located conveniently next to the Wawona Hotel, the trailhead is just across Highway 41. Compared to most other hikes in Yosemite, this is about as easy as they come: it's a level stroll around the meadow, and most of it us under tree cover which makes it a perfect hike for the afternoon when the sun is out and temperatures are at their hottest. If you are looking for some wildlife, consider going during the "golden hours" of the day, around dawn or dusk, when you may spot some deer grazing in the grass. While you won't break much of a sweat on this hike, it's a perfect way to end a day visiting Mariposa Grove, or to build up your appetite for dinner at the Wawona Hotel restaurant.
My wife and I enjoyed this trail, not difficult, perfect for kids ... don't forget bug spray
The best secret in the park shhhh
Watch for lots horse poop- close toed shoes are a good idea. Also, bring bug spray.
Hubby and I were looking for a spot to do our run and enjoy our detour through Yosemite. This trail was ideal. We parked at the lodge and took off across the road and cut thru the gold course. We found the trail and enjoyed a picturesque run. the road was a mixture of pavement, sand, rock, and dirt. slight inclines but nothing strenuous. It was 3.6 miles and we were thru it in 45 minutes. The trail would be perfect for our children to join in next time.
Muddy and a small stream cutting off part of trail. Easy to cross.
Easy trail. Pretty scenery, but nothing spectacular. Lots of horses, manure, and mosquitoes. There are better choices in Yosemite.
Great for a flat walk or a very casual bike ride. Too early or too late, and you'll likely see a bear coming down the hill for dinner.
great easy loop to do if you have a dog. there was no one else on the trail so we let him off leash and run through the meadows. check out toulumne grove also if you have a dog.
Easy trail lots to see and take pictures
In all fairness we didn't do the entire loop, but I wouldn't waste much time here. There are much more beautiful hikes in Yosemite. THis one even borders a golf course. If your time is limited, keep driving.
Easy going with lots of nature!
One of my favorites in Wawona! Beautiful any time of year, and is an easy walk.
This is a great training trail run or just a nice, scenic walk. On one of the runs with my partner, we had a baby bear run across the trail in front of us and up a tree....we kept going, because we knew momma wasn't too far away. We also encountered a rattle snake, slithering by. It can be a bit of a challenge to run the whole loop in the dead of summer, but definitely doable.

As summer approaches more and more people will head for the great outdoors to take in the stunning scenery of the North York Moors.
But while most go equipped with maps and compasses, many rely on their smart phones to navigate their way across the rugged landscape.
Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team have received a growing number of call-outs to walkers who have lost their way after relying on GPS technology.
In an attempt to prevent further incidents, the group is warning outdoor enthusiasts to ensure they carry the appropriate navigational tools.
Incident controller Ian Hugill, 55, from Scarborough, said: "In the summer months more people are keen to get out. When you go out on a hill you should take a map and compass with you. Increasingly people are using GPS and navigational tools that come with mobile phones but bitter experience says that when most need the tools the battery is flat or they have dropped the phone in a stream.
"So the strong message we want to give is have a map and compass and know how to use them and even in summer make sure you have got a torch. It's amazing how quickly it does get dark and having a map and compass but no torch does make navigation quite a challenge."
Failing GPS technology makes up just a portion of the call-outs attended by the team's dedicated volunteers each year.
So far this year, the rescuers have attended 21 incidents, including a recent shout in Scarborough where members recovered a dead body from steep ground at Oliver's Mount.
Mr Hugill said: "We usually end up working with three-types of people; outdoor enthusiasts becoming lost or injured, vulnerable people, such as children and Alzheimers sufferers, and despondants – people who are going out intending to self harm."
With a patch to cover of around 2,100 square miles, the team remains on standby 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year.
"Our coverage area runs from Sandsend in the north to Helmsley then across to the A19. The western boundary then runs south to the M62, at which point it heads east as far as Goole, where it follows the River Humber to the coast. The eastern boundary follows the coast north back to Sandsend. This encompasses the south eastern half of the North York Moors National Park, Dalby Forest and the Yorkshire Wolds. It is the fourth largest area covered by a rescue team in England and Wales," said Mr Hugill.
Based in Snainton, the team is made up of 41 operational members and 33 associate members, who help with fundraising and other activities. At least 16 volunteers usually attend an incident and the group then appoints two incident controllers, two drivers and three hill teams of four, which are made up of a party leader, a navigator, casualty care and a radio operator.
Callouts usually come from one of two sources – via a 999 call to the police from a member of the public, or direct from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service. The group also works closely with Scarborough Coastguard and other rescue teams including the neighbouring Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team.
One of the biggest incidents the team has been called to in recent years was the search for Helmsley woman Barbara Colling, in January this year.
Tragically, her body was discovered on Hawnby Moor more than two weeks later following an intensive search.
Mr Hugill said: "It was a major search that pulled in teams from across North Yorkshire, including Cleveland, Swaledale and RAF Leeming. Some 2,000 man hours were expended across eight days and there were a total of 82 volunteers on the ground. We were out searching in all weather conditions.
"Inevitably dealing with fatalities is upsetting but one thing that brings satisfaction is it brings closure to a family. We have medical professionals on the team who can provide us with counselling but we have had plenty of experience as a team of pulling together in these circumstances."
Team members come from all walks of life and the group is always on the hunt for new recruits.
Mr Hugill said: "If you join the team you can expect it to take 12 months to become an operational member. We train two evenings a week and at least one day over a weekend per month. We would expect whoever joined to be able to have navigational skills and be equipped to be safe on the hill."
A dedicated member for 12 years, Mr Hugill said being on the team was extremely rewarding. "The best part is the team spirit and the team working together towards a common goal. While we do a serious job, there is also a lot of humour and banter when it's appropriate," he said.
"The other thing is going out on to the North York Moors. We are very lucky to spend a lot of time up there training or on operations.
"I would encourage people to come along to one of our open evenings and see what it's all about."
The four-wheeled members of the rescue team
Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team owns a number of vehicles for large emergencies.
It has two Land Rovers, which transport search parties onto hills quickly and are often used as ambulances. The group also has a four-wheel drive which acts as a control unit and carries equipment.
It recently purchased a fundraising van, which will help to raise awareness of the team.
• The Scarborough and District Team was formed on July 9, 1965 with about 12 members. It got its baptism on October 26 that year when six youngsters from Teesside went missing on Fylingdales Moor while taking part in the Lyke Wake Walk.
• In 2006 the group changed its name to Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team to more accurately reflect its operational area and role within search and rescue in the UK.
• The team has a number of long-serving volunteers including some of who have been members for more than 20 years.
• It usually attends 30-40 call-outs a year.
• The team is funded entirely through donations. It costs around £30,000 a year to keep the group running. It was recently awarded a three-year sponsorship deal from Pickering-based Wayside Holiday Park.
• Last year 20 members were awarded the Diamond Jubilee Medal and the team also received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.
• The team is active on social media, including Twitter and Facebook.

The firm laurels of a person's cerebrum excrete out the wisdom in those cells. This is a world devoid of human intelligence, where education is a mere qualification. A suffiency attitude towards self and a callous one towards the strange homo-sapiens. Where people are deaf towards screams and lend an ear to gossips. Where people keep digging out the secrets of others and are ignorant to the confessions of their own innocent children. Forever is only a seven letter word. A world where love fades sooner than denims, where green paper is the dictator. Less of care and more of PDA, a bit of laughter and loads of cries, less of passion and more of voyeurism. Oh this Earth! Where the world lives and humanity stinks each day, where people fear God rather love it. And finally, where there is more of writing and less of actions!!

Five Dropshipping and E-commerce Trends for 2018
The ecom industry gets more saturated every year. Now, as we head into 2018 it is easier than ever before for people to set up their own online stores and build out a 7 figure business based on drop shipping, and this means that it is harder than ever before to be successful.
One-third of retailers are now dropping shippers and that figure is expected to grow every year. The way that e-commerce works is changing, and we have reached the stage where you don't need capital or even a warehouse to be a successful seller and you can have a real 7 figure online business without a warehouse.
Take a look at Wayfair and Blinds.com – they are two major retailers that generate millions in revenue each year. Even Zappos and Amazon are starting to offer remote fulfillment options so that anyone can sell them.
With drop shipping, when the store owner receives an order, instead of shipping it out themselves, they then place an order with a wholesaler and get it sent to the buyer. They are simply acting as an intermediary.
This is a simple but effective business model, and it's one that works very well. For the seller, there is very little capital required – you can sell products without much of an outlay by using the free trial of Shopify – if the products go well, then you can start paying to run a store long term. Let's take a look at the new eCommerce trends in 2018.
1 – Shopping Socially
Social media – Instagram and Snapchat, for example – are becoming popular with people who are looking to find great products to buy online. Instagram isn't just for photo sharing anymore it's even a tool for buying and price comparison.
2 – Facebook Messenger Chat Bots
Save time with your customer service by using Facebook Messenger Chatbots. They can be programmed to offer answers about different subjects and to provide basic customer service and order tracking. They're no substitute for a human, but they are used to answer basic questions.
3 – More Bestsellers for More companies
These days, it's easy to find a niche because you can look at the best-selling products on Amazon and work from there to figure out what you can source to get in on the action. It's easier than ever before to copy the models of the successful sellers.
4 – Niche Targeting
If you have a passion such as formal dresses, dancewear, or baby clothing, then it makes sense to target that, and more and more sellers are doing exactly that because they don't want to limit themselves to always being reactive. Again, the data is out there, so people have the option to grow or shrink their niche as they wish.
5 – Save Time With Flexible Tools
Dropship retailers can now save a huge amount of time by using apps such as Oberlo to pick and publish their products, images and more. There's no need to go to the Alibaba or AliExpress website these days – you can do everything from within the dashboard.
The technology is there to make running a drop shipping business simple – but the tech isn't much use if you don't have the patience and knowledge to back it up. That's why it's so important that you plan your business carefully before you start.
Watch the video below to see experts predictions about how eCommerce will change in the next years:
How To Build a 7 Figure Online Business With eCommerce in 2018?

Tikka in Nepal
Yesterday you may have noticed people walking around with ashes on their forehead.
The day is called Ash Wednesday. It's an annual Christian holiday which serves as the first day of Lent. Lent is a complex event, but it is essentially a six-week period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in preparation for Easter.
On Ash Wednesday black ashes are applied to a believer's forehead in the sign of the cross, typically done by a priest or minister. The ashes are a symbol of one's penitence as well as of our mortality ("ashes to ashes, dust to dust").
If you can't make it to a church on Ash Wednesday yourself, someone who did go there can apply the ashes from their forehead onto your own later in the day. (Thanks for the ashes yesterday, Dad!)
Throughout history, many cultures around the world including Hebrews and Greeks have used ashes to indicate not only penitence but mourning and humility. Ashes are even mentioned in Homer's The Iliad in 800 B.C.
Other cultures, like those of Nepal and India, also mark-up one's forehead on special occasions, including happy ones. Nepal in particular has a wonderful tradition of "tika", which is a red powder applied on the forehead during "happy" events like to welcome a visitor.
So for example, if you are going to volunteer in Nepal, you will most certainly be honored with tika by your host family and/or the place you will volunteer like a school or orphanage.
On my first trip to Nepal, in 2000, the elementary school where I taught English gave me an incredible welcome, filled with songs and a speech by the principal, all topped off by the staff and students smearing red tika on my forehead.
As you can see from the photos here, they were quite liberal with the tika! Having come to Nepal as a volunteer basically on my own with little knowledge of local culture, I had no idea I was in for the tika ceremony until they sat me down on that chair.
(And it didn't help that the only person at my ceremony who spoke English was the guy busily taking these pictures without explaining a thing to me about what was happening!)
As the days and weeks went by on my volunteer trip to Nepal, I learned that tika wasn't always a full-contact sport. At my host family's place during the Dasain festival, the most important holiday all year in Nepal, I (gently) exchanged tika with my host sister and brothers. The tika on this occasion wasn't just powder but a mixture of the red dye powder (abir), yogurt, and rice.
And even when making a casual visit to a Hindu temple, the custom is to exchange tika with the friends and family you are with.
My clients who volunteer in Nepal often send me photos of their own tika experiences.
Here is one of my volunteers with her host family, riding in one of Nepal's public minivans:
And another volunteer in Nepal with his host family in one of the villages in the Chitwan area.

My sister found an old photo album last week, it was interesting to see the awesome sunglasses my aunt was wearing. It made me go back to my parents' disco photos – my parents had these big 'fros and were quite fashionable, I must say.. Anyway, I decided to find out what Nigerian vintage afro photos were on the interwebs,
I found The Lijadu Sisters Band from the '70s.

Rasmussen reports that 46 percent of likely voters think Hillary Clinton should suspend her campaign. Some 44 percent disagree.
Growing national security questions about Hillary Clinton's use of a private e-mail server during her time as secretary of State are drowning out much of her message as a presidential candidate and causing many of her fellow Democrats to worry about the future of her campaign. Is it time for Clinton to put her campaign on temporary hold?
Voters are almost evenly divided on that question: the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Clinton should suspend her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination until all of the legal questions about her use of the private e-mail server are resolved. Nearly as many (44%) disagree. Nine percent (9%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

How the industry works
If you are considering a career in production management in TV drama it is important to have a broad understanding of the whole production process – in order to help you appreciate the part you will play in it, but also the roles and responsibilities of the many other people you will be working with.
You can download Creative Skillset's National Occupational Standards for Production (Film & TV), which offer a breakdown of the main functions involved at each of these stages of production.
They were created in consultation with industry professionals from film and TV to capture what you need to know and be able to do when carrying out different tasks in a production environment. So they are a good place to start to get an overview of the production process – and what follows is based on this suite of standards.
Although there are differences between the production of film and TV content and between genres from drama to factual, the process essentially follows these stages:
The production process
Taking the main stages of the process it is possible to break these down further to identify the key activities or "functions" involved at each stage that are relevant to film and TV drama productions. These headline functions are based on tasks detailed in the suite of National Occupational Standards Production (Film & TV):
As a line producer or production manager the major focus of your role will tend to be the pre-production and production stages. The extent of your Involvement in the development stage or in detailed oversight of the post-production and delivery stages will depend very much on the individual production – the size, scope and budget, the make-up of a particular production management team and your own areas of specialist knowledge acquired on your path to these roles.
But being able to see the bigger picture – to understand the end-to-end process from conception to delivery and to understand the creative and commercial challenges of a production – will be crucial to your success in these roles.

Mold and Mycotoxins, Current Evaluation and Treatment 2016
Best Seller on Amazon.com
Just a few of the Reviews from Amazon.com:
"Mold & Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment 2016" is a unique opportunity to learn about the evaluation and treatment of mold illness from one of the top doctors in the world with a focus on complex, chronic illnesses.
The author has been one of my personal heroes for years; not only for his knowledge but also for his compassion and commitment to seeking answers to improve people's lives. The book allows the reader to see how Dr. Nathan approaches recovering health in some of his most difficult cases.
I was anticipating this book for months, and it did not disappoint. If you have experienced mold illness, this book is a must-read. If you have Lyme disease or another chronic condition, the book is still a must-read as mold is all too commonly a component of many complex conditions. Ask your doctor to read it too as it will only help them in caring for their patients.
The strategies outlined in this book are in large part responsible for my own health recovery from both Lyme disease and mold illness. Christmas has arrived early this year with the gift of Dr. Nathan's new book!
Light in the Darkness
on August 1, 2016
Having mold illness, Lyme, and co-infections, is nothing short of trying to navigate life in a pitch black maze—every day and every night. As a toxic and sensitive patient, recovering under Dr. Nathan's care, I'm grateful for the light shed by this book, his other publications, his program "Cutting Edge of Health and Wellness", and his practice.
This book details current information needed by health care professionals. It is essential education for anyone who has mold illness, Lyme, or both. It is a reassuring resource for patients needing clarification and review. It is also a clear and succinct resource for a sufferer to refer to interested and/or doubtful friends and family.
Congratulations to Dr. Nathan and the few doctors willing to do all they can. Rather than waiting for more information and less controversy in this area of desperate need, (thereby sacrificing sufferers), they are courageously stepping up. In his book, Dr. Nathan clearly shows the ways he is seeking and refining the help he is offering. It is another step toward ending this darkness.
New Interview with Dr. Nathan on Mold Toxicity:
Link Between Mold and Chronic Health Conditions
Below are the links to your show on iHeart Radio and RadioMD
Our research paper with Dr. Robert Naviaux is now available:
Metabolic Features of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Naviaux RK, et al. PNAS MS# 2016-07571RR, August 31, 2016
Website: Naviauxlab.ucsd.edu
This is a ground-breaking research publication which clearly demonstrates that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME is a biochemical illness (NOT psychosomatic) in which we can clearly measure specific imbalances from the blood of CFS patients. These imbalances differ between men and women, but the specifics of these results give great hope that we now have a test which can delineate CFS patients. This is the first in an anticipated series of research papers designed to clarify the chemistry of a wide variety of chronic illnesses: how they may be similar, and different. The next research project, already underway, with Dr. Paul Chaney's CFS patients should be completed soon.

You can either workout long or you can workout hard. As a matter of fact, the more condensed your workout is the more effective it is. After all, if you're spending hours at the gym you're probably not training hard enough. And if you do train hard enough you will over-train and that's not good at all.
How about a workout that you can get done in few minutes and be exhausted? This workout is for the shoulders and it takes just one big drop set comprised of several dumbbell exercises and finished off by two bodyweight exercises. You will do each exercise until failure and move on to the next without any rest – all in one big set, whatever the amount of reps you can pull off.
The workout starts with overhead dumbbell presses, after which you will do dumbbell push presses and then high pulls. Then you'll drop one dumbbell and continue to do single dumbbell eights and press outs.
Finally you will finish off with mule kicks and pike push ups. At that point your shoulder muscles will be completely exhausted and that's exactly what we want. So here's each exercise detailed.
Overhead Dumbbell Press
Start with overhead presses. Keep your legs and back fixed as you raise the dumbbells over your head. Try not to use any momentum and keep doing as many reps as you can until you can't keep them doing in the correct form.
Dumbbell Push Press
Dumbbell push press is a little easier as it allows some momentum by bending your knees and pushing the weight up assisted by your body. But don't arch your back. Keep doing them until you can't continue.
Dumbbell High Pulls
Lower the dumbbells down and pull them up to your chest. Again, don't arch your body and don't swing, you should not use momentum to perform this exercise. Continue until you fail.
Single Dumbbell "8's"
Now is the time to drop one dumbbell and grip the other one with your both hands. Raise it in front of you and rotate your arms as if you draw horizontal "8's" in the air. Again, keep your back straight and knees locked, don't swing around to gain momentum.
Single Dumbbell Press Outs
Continue by still holding the dumbbell in your both hands and lower it down to the abdominal level. Push the dumbbell forward and upward to the shoulder level. Once again, keep your back straight and knees locked, don't swing back as you move the dumbbell. After you fail, drop the dumbbell.
Mule Kicks
Now we're finishing off the set with bodyweight exercises. Normally they would be easy to perform but as your muscles are already exhausted they will be quite a challenge.
Mule kicks are done by standing on all fours with your body bent at about 90 degree angle, then shifting your weight to the arms and kicking your legs back and up.
Pike Push Ups
The final exercise to end the workout are the pike push ups which are performed by standing on all fours with your body bent at about 90 degree angle then pushing down with your arms as if you'd do a normal push up while still keeping your body bent.
So, you start with the heaviest exercise and progress to easier ones in one big drop set. Keep doing as many reps as you can of each exercise in the correct form until you can't keep going. Don't rest, move to the next exercise immediately. This way it makes the workout extremely hard while it takes very little time. Again, you don't need to spend hours on your workout if you do it hard enough. Condensing your workouts to shorter periods of time is more effective.

I should add a little more about it. It is descended from a family of connection pooling modules built around apr_reslist. I've been using it two years myself, and some *very* big household name sites have been using it for some time. What is new is the apr_dbd/mod_dbd split, which was arrived at by discussion here a little under a year ago. So, like proxy, cache, etc, it's really a refactoring of existing stuff. Oh, and let me repeat: mod_dbd offers the biggest advance in applications development since mod_perl gave us the beginnings of LAMP ten years ago! Remember the late 1980s, when every PC application came on a huge stack of floppies, comprising *mostly* just a bunch of drivers for hundreds of different printers? Database handling in Apache 1.x and 2.0 looks like that: every module or application that wants a database has to reinvent that wheel - and then reinvent connection pooling on top of it if it wants more scalability! > Of course auth, and proxy refactoring may still have (big) flaws. No > problem, that's what the alpha/beta/GA cycle is ment to catch & address. That argument applies equally to filter, event and dbd. And to a lesser extent everything else that's changed since 2.0 and APR-0.9. -- Nick Kew
